There is not one perfect weight for every person. It is not the goal of Fit Kids of Arizona to make every child conform to certain weight limits. However, sometimes too much weight can lead to health problems including diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, fat in the liver, and bone and joint problems. Fit Kids of Arizona can help you to prevent or reduce these problems, leading to a long, healthy, and happy life for your child.

Our community programs range from public health events to school-based health education to research projects. Learn more about our community programs .
